Top British UFC fighter Michael Page believes that famous basketball player Michael Jordan could become successful in professional mixed martial arts.
Fadeaway World quotes Page as saying:
I'm gonna say Michael Jordan because obviously, just even going over his career and stuff, and hearing about, especially the documentary. Hearing that, he creates his own scenarios that don't have to be real in order to get himself in a certain state. And yeah, that's an interesting trait to have. And I think in this, you've got to be kind of evil as well. So if the fact that he can create a story up in his head and use that as fuel, yeah, I think he'd be a beast in MMA.
Page, 36, made his debut under the UFC banner in March 2024, defeating Kevin Holland by unanimous decision at UFC 299. In March 2023, he defeated Goiti Yamauchi by first-round technical knockout at Bellator 292. Page has 22 wins and two losses on his record.
Holland, 31, previously stepped into the octagon in September 2023 at UFC Fight Night 227, losing to Jack Della Maddalena by split decision. He has 25 wins and 11 losses on his record.
